Insightful, creative, and of course, very funny. But also sad. Look, there's a lot going on and Ariel's just trying to keep his head above water, trying not to down. A candid look into society and the self that refuses to delve into "poor me" territory.... full review

Well performed, integrating hip-hop in ways that proved both fun and profound.... full review

I know this isn't going to sound like great praise, but it's truly something that the Attic Collective were able to pull off a play that lives in the nightmares of theatre majors in a way that wasn't boring. It was, in fact, supremely compelling, imaginative, and spellbinding.... full review

I'm so glad I was roped into seeing this show on a whim.... full review

What can't Laser do? He can come up with jokes that leave the audience gasping for air, he can write songs that are catchy and hit the heart, and he can tell stories in ways the will captivate you, all while dissecting what it means to be trans masc. Laser is my new best friend, and he could be yours if you see A Shark Ate My Penis.... full review

I haven't seen a whole lot of burlesque so I don't have much of a standard to judge it by, but I don't think that matters because I had a blast.... full review

"Desperate" is the key word in this title as Lola Luvv's desperation leads her to increasingly bizarre lengths to get the attention of a famous director who, I personally think, is overrated, but that makes the situation even more hilarious to me. That said, the sense of stakes felt way off.... full review

A love/hate letter to theatre that anyone who's devoted their life to this strange and ephemeral art form can relate to. Also it's gd hilarious with several "oof, too real" moments.... full review

I have been raving about this play to anyone who will listen. I'm practically evangelical about it. I'm starting to get concerned looks from other Fringers because I won't stop bringing it up. The performance I went to was well-attended, but that house should be packed every showtime.... full review

Hilarious in both concept and execution, with a light dusting of existential dread, you've got to make sure you see this.... full review
